"Each plant has its own microbiome," Lowry explained. And according to results from the American Gut Project, the largest published study to date of the human microbiome, people who ate at least 30 different types of plant foods a week had more diverse bacteria in their guts than those who...
explained that the comprehensive metagenomic data, combined with extensive measurements of participants’ environmental factors and other health markers, will generate a unique dataset to reveal new information about the gut-brain connection and leads for microbiome-derived treatments. ...
Here, we report on the discovery of a gut–brain connection in mice that enhances exercise performance by augmenting dopamine signalling during physical activity. We find that microbiome-dependent production of endocannabinoid metabolites in the gut stimulates the activity of TRPV1-expressing sensory ...
The connection between our brain and our gut is clear. However, our gut and brain not only affect each other short-term during stressful or exciting events. The communication between the two is on-going, long-term, and intimate. Gut dysbiosis and gut infections can increase inflammation in th...
“We wanted to bypass the mouth and focus on the gut-brain connection, to see how nutrients affect the brain independently from seeing, smelling or tasting food,” said lead study author Dr. Mireille Serlie, professor of endocrinology at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut. ...
We explored whether physical activity could influence more than metabolic regulation and result in psychological benefits through the brain-gut microbiome (BGM) system in a population with high BMI. Fecal samples were obtained for 16s rRNA profiling and fecal metabolomics, along with psychological and ...
"It doesn't seem to make sense until you realize the gut and the brain are highly connected," Zapanta explained. "For instance, the gut microbiome actually produces neurotransmitters, like dopamine and serotonin, and is able to send those to the brain." ...
It should be observed, however, that having common inputs, as well as common outputs, drives two regions to be functionally connected238; thus, primary sensory and motor bilateral areas can present HC even in absence of a direct structural connection, since they both receive sensorial inputs ...
vagal signaling in healthy people alters emotional processing. Our results demonstrate the role that vagal signaling can play in influencinghuman emotionand highlight the need to further investigate the importance of this neural pathway in mediating the connection between thegut microbiomeand our brain....
Improved psychosocial measures associated with physical activity may be explained by alterations in brain-gut microbiome signatures. Sci Rep. 2023;13(1):10332. doi:10.1038/s41598-023-37009-z PubMedGoogle ScholarCrossref See More About Nutrition, Obesity, Exercise Neurology Obesity Psychiatry...
